You can fill up with fuels with a
maximum ethanol content of 25 %,
for example E10 or E25.
The engine has knock control. This
means that different petrol grades
can be used.
Super, RON 95.
Unleaded petrol, RON 91.
Engine oil consumption depends on
the driving style and operating con-
ditions.
Therefore check the engine oil level
regularly each time you fill up with
fuel by taking a detailed measure-
ment.
Engine oil consumption can be
increased, for example in the fol-
lowing situations:
• Dynamic driving style.
• Running in the engine. Safety notes
NOTICE
Even small quantities of the wrong
fuel or wrong fuel additives can dam-
age the fuel system and engine. In
addition, the catalytic converter will be
permanently damaged. There is a
danger of damage to property. Do not
use the following fuel or additives with
petrol engines:
• Leaded petrol.
After filling the wrong fuel, do not
press the start/stop button. Contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
• Metallic additives, for example
manganese or iron.
NOTICE
Incorrect fuels can damage the fuel
system and engine. There is a danger
of damage to property. Do not refuel
with fuel with a higher ethanol content
than recommended. Do not refuel
with fuel containing methanol, for
example M5 to M100.
NOTICE
Fuel below the specified minimum
quality can adversely affect engine
function or lead to engine damage.
There is a danger of damage to prop-
erty. Do not refuel with petrol below
the specified minimum quality.

• Engine idling.
• Use of engine oil grades catego-
rised as unsuitable.
Different vehicle messages are
shown on the Control Display,
depending on the engine oil level.
Electronic oil measurement has two
measurement principles:
• Monitoring.
• Detailed measurement.
When frequently making short trips
or using a dynamic driving style, for
example taking corners at high
speed, regularly perform a detailed
measurement.
■Principle
The engine oil level is electronically
monitored during the journey and
can be shown on the Control Dis-
play.
If the engine oil level is outside its
permissible operating range, a
vehicle message is shown.
■Operating requirements
A current measurement is available
after approximately 30 minutes of
normal driving.
■Displaying the engine oil level
Via Toyota Supra Command:
1"My Vehicle"
2"Vehicle status"
3"Engine oil level"
The engine oil level is displayed.
■System limits
When frequently making short trips
or using a dynamic driving style, it
may not be possible to calculate a
measurement. In this case, the
measurement for the last, suffi-
ciently long journey is displayed.
■Principle
The engine oil level is checked
when the vehicle is stationary and
is shown on a scale.
If the engine oil level is outside its
permissible operating range, a Safety notes
NOTICE
Too little engine oil causes engine
damage. There is a danger of dam-
age to property. Top up with engine oil
immediately.
NOTICE
Too much engine oil can damage the
engine or the catalytic converter.
There is a danger of damage to prop-
erty. Do not top up with too much
engine oil. If there is too much engine
oil, have the engine oil level corrected
by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.

Additional information on suitable
oil specifications and viscosity
classes of engine oils can be
obtained from any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
The manufacturer of the vehicle
recommends having the engine oil
changed by any authorized Toyota

Coolant is a mixture of water and
an additive.
Not all commercially available addi-
tives are suitable for the vehicle. Information regarding suitable addi-
tives is available from any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
Vehicles with a petrol engine have
two cooling circuits. Always check
the coolant levels of both coolant
tanks and top up if necessary.
The coolant level is shown by Max
marks in the filler neck of the cool-
ant tank.
Depending on the engine version,
the coolant tank is located on the
right or left of the engine compart-
ment, see page 305.

The maintenance system indicates
what maintenance measures are
required and thereby assists in
maintaining the road safety and
operational safety of the vehicle.
The exact work required and the
maintenance intervals may vary
depending on the country specifica-
tions. Replacement work, spare
parts, operating materials and wear
materials are calculated sepa-
rately. Additional information is
available from a Service Partner of
the manufacturer or another quali-
fied Service Partner or a specialist
workshop.Sensors and special algorithms
monitor the conditions in which the
vehicle is used. CBS uses this
information to determine the main-
tenance requirement.
The system thus enables the scope
of the maintenance work to be
adapted to the individual usage
profile.
Information on service require-
ments, see page 159, can be
shown on the Control Display.
Periods when the vehicle is out of
use with its battery disconnected
are not taken into account.
In such cases, have any
time-dependent maintenance pro-
cedures, for example for the brake
fluid and, where applicable, the
engine oil and microfilter/activated
charcoal filter, updated by a Service
Partner of the manufacturer or
another qualified Service Partner or
a specialist workshop.
